RE:    S.B. No. 150

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Transportation, International and Intergovernmental Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 150 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRANSPORTATION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to require the Department of Transportation to determine the need, projected costs; and possible economic and non-economic benefits, of constructing noise barriers along the H-1 freeway to mitigate the negative impact of highway noise in residential areas along the freeway and to abate longstanding noise problems for adjacent buildings and communities.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in opposition of this measure from the Department of Transportation.  Written testimony presented to the Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by deleting its contents and inserting the highway capital improvement project appropriations from Senate Bill No. 1611, S.D. 1, and changing the effective date to July 1, 2009. 

    

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation, International and Intergovernmental Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 150, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 150, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation, International and Intergovernmental Affairs,
